The crib lighting

The lighting in the Nativity scene plays a very important role to make the atmosphere charming, and the most realistic as possible.

The lighting for the crib can be understood more generally as the effect of day and night, or in a more specific way in relation to the lighting of the houses of the nativity, rather than street lamps, lanterns for the lighting of the streets in the crib or the lighting of some of the parts that you want to highlight in comparison to the rest of the crib as for example: the nativity lit in the hut, the led divers used to illuminate the streams and lakes, and much more.

Lighting of the houses in the crib can be realized with a wide range of types of incandescent light bulbs and leds do not produce heat.

For beginners or for those who prefer to kit lighting for the crib already complete, are available lights and lanterns for the crib, the low-voltage 3.5 volt, complete with plug to be inserted directly into the power strip connected to the power supply for the current operation, or via battery holder.

The lights are replaceable and are already complete with lamp holders and plug with different attacks:

-Light attack E5,5 available in filament or led, are ideal to light up little houses for nativity scene small.

- lamps with socket E10 are used to illuminate homes or environments of medium-sized, these are also available in the version with a filament or led.

To lengthen the cables of the lights above you can also use the extensions already ready and available in the lengths from the cm 50 and 100, or by using the skein of cable it is possible to realize the extension customized by connecting the plug and the socket.

For those, however, they are more familiar with the electrical connections or for those who love to experiment in lighting for the crib, diy, you can follow the below instructions to implement the whole lighting of the nativity scene on the measure.

You can choose between two types of lights, those of a filament or led.

The microlampade to the filament are low-voltage, operate at 12 Volts and are complete with the cable, are recommended for small rooms or small houses, ideal for the green lantern as the year a very thin cable.

Led by mm 3 and 5 are low voltage, operating at 12 volts and are complete with cable available in light, concentrated or diffuse, in various colors. Remember, also, that to extend the cable, you can use the skein of yarn. For operation, you must connect the plug to the low voltage at the end of the wire of the led, the pin must then be inserted in the power supply with a multi-variable voltage available in 5 or 10 sockets, alternatively, you can connect using common terminals all'universal power supply by cutting the jack.

For lighting also half open as huts, caves, or houses and villages of medium and large size, we recommend using the following lights to the filament or led with threaded socket E14 working current.

For the lighting of the cribs are available chains of lights christmas led functioning as a battery or current.

The chains led operating current are available with lights of different distances between them: 10-20-25 cm.


The control units for the crib to make the lighting the day and night in the crib, you can use many different systems:

  • control unit two-channel fading for lamps only the filament 220 volt connections within the, where to connect white lamp or yellow for day light and blue lamp for a night light; or, they can chain, for the day, we recommend this model...., while for the night this....

  • units always a fade for filament lamps 220 volt connections within the who have also taken effects day and night. In the taken effect the day to be linked to the movements of the statues for the crib and everything that needs to be turned on during the daytime phase (example: fireworks, fountains and mills etc), in the grip effect night they connected the lights to the lighting of the houses for the nativity, stars, fiber optics and projectors.

  • Units complete, which compared with the previous, in addition to the fading, and the effect of day and night, the phases of the sunrise and sunset to have an effect that is totally realistic.

NOTE: Remember that the fade of the control units can be connected filament lamps, it is not possible to connect transformers, motors, pumps, led lights; you can only connect to control units for the crib that are in addition to the taken into the fade, also the taken effects called “synchro”.
